A COLORED EDITOR WARNED.

\ telegram from Montgomery,

dignation against an article in the
HerdId, a weekly newspaper edited
by a cOlOred man named Jesse
Dukes, reached climax here to-
day. The article came out Satur.
day, and is as follows: Every day
or so we read Of the lynching of
some negro TOR outraging some
white woman. Why is 1t that
white women attract negro men
now more than in former days ?
There was a time when such a thing
was unheard of. There is a secret
to this thing, and we greatly sus-
pect it is the growing appreciation
of the white Juliet for the cOlOred
Romeo, as he grows more and more
intelligent and refined. If some.
thing is not Gone to break up these
lynchings, it will be so after awhile
that they will lynch every colored
man that looks at a white woman
with a twinkle in his eye" A large
public meeting to-day adopted reso-
lutiOns denOuncing him, and warn
ing him to keep away from Mont
gOmery at the peril of his life.
